Early History 

HE earliest white settlement on the Clinton River 
was located half a mile west of the city limits 
of Mount Clemens, and later became the 
town of Frederick. It was established by the 
Moravian missionaries in the year 1782 
(July 21). The Moravians date their origin back to the 
time of John Huss — 1457. In 1741 they were expelled 
from their seat in Germany and immigrated to America, 
first settling in Bethlehem, Pa., and later establishing 
several other missions throughout the wilderness. One 
of these was in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, numbering 
over one hundred missionaries, who were massacred in 
1781 by order of British officers on account of their sym- 
pathy with America in its war for independence. The 
survivors came to Detroit for protection, later embarking 
in canoes and coming up the Clinton River, then known 
as the Huron River, and establishing the above-mentioned 
settlement, which they named New Ganadenhutten. In 
1786 they numbered 140, and had erected thirty huts and 
a chapel. The last of the original Moravians was Richard 
Connor, who lived at the settlement until his death, 
April 17, 1808. 

The site of the present city of Mount Clemens, which 
was founded by Judge Christian Clemens in 1795, later 
absorbed all the other settlements in the vicinity on ac- 
count of its ideal location for a city and also on account 
of being at the head of navigation on the Clinton River.

It was first platted in 1818, and on January 15 of that 
year. Governor Cass laid out the county of Macomb and 
established Mount Clemens as its seat of justice. 

About 1870 the great Mineral Waters n'ith their Medicinal 
Properties zvere discozvrcd, zuhich has resulted in some of 
the World's Greatest Bathing Establishments being erected 
here and in Mount Clemens taking its place beside the 
World's Great Health Resorts.

Born August 24, 1837. Died October 15. 1912 

" A descendant of John Cutter, of Lexington, Mass., who was a member of the famous ' Minute-Men ' in the Revo- 
lutionary War, the junior son of Charles Nelson Cutter, of New York City, a wholesale dry goods merchant, under the 
firm name of Cuttter cS Phelps, Charles N. Cutter was born in New York City on Aug. 24, 1837. He was married 
to Belle S. Johnson, of Boston, Mass., on Dec. II, 1865. Was engaged in the real estate business in CoiHicil Bluffs, la., 

and Omaha, Nebr.; was later in business at Decatur, 111. He was a mem- 
ber of the original 'Pike's Peakers,' who crossed the plains to 'Pike's Peak 
or Bust' Was at St. Joseph, Mo., for two years, but returned to New York 
City after the Civil War, where he represented a large manufacturing com- 
pany. Later he established a store at Lewiston. Me., and Louisville, Ky. 
He returned to Boston, Mass., and engaged in the sewing machine busi- 
ness at 265 Washington St., under the hrm name of Willard & Cutter." 

(The above is his biography as printed in the "Book of the Cutter Fam- 
ily," published about 1S70, 1 

In 1S71 he removed to Carthage, Mo., and two years later came to Hot 
Springs, .A.rk., on account of bad health. He-was so greatly benefited that 
in the following year, 1874, he decided to make Hot Springs his permanent 
home, and in that year, realizing the worth of these famous hot waters, he 
established the pioneer advertising medium for this or any other resort. The 
first edition of "Cutter's GuiJe" was issued in lS74,and attracted a great deal 
of attention in this State and throughout the country. This publication 
has grow-n both in influence and size, the total number of copies issued up to 
IQii being 865,000. "Cutter's Official Guide to Hot Springs" has a circulation 
throughout the civilized world. Among his other best-known publications 
is "Cutler's Guide to Mount Clemens, Mieh." having a total circulation of 
480,000 copies issued during the past twenty-one years. Other Guides and 
Souvenirs are Niagara Falls, Cambridge Springs, Mineral Wells, Eureka 
Springs, Mobile, Ala., Pan-.-Vnierican Exposition, and World's Fair, St. Louis. 
He raised a family of nine children. Six of them are living — Clarence 
W., De Witt, John Milton, May Belle, Mary and Henrietta Cutter. 

Ciiarles Cutter was a life-long Democrat, but never sought a political 
office. He was for many years a member of the Hot Springs Masonic 
Lodge No. 62. (Since his death a set of resolutions paying a tribute to his 
great work in exploiting this resort, and to his character and life as a 
Mason, was adopted by this lodge.) 

His death occurred at Hot Springs, Oct. 15, iqi2, at the age af seventy- 
five years. Deceased is survived by his wife. Belle S. Cutter. 

John Milton Cutter, the junior member of the firm of Cutter & Son, will 
continue the publishing business so well established by his late father.

Mount Clemens* Famous Mineral Waters 

IE mineral waters of Moiiiit Clemen^ have 
established tlieir reputation upon a firm and 
lasting foundation. Their medicinal virtues, 
and the numerous and wonderful cures effected 
by their judicious use, are marvelous and al- 
most beyond comparison. 

They are the strongest mineral waters in use. and we 
call attention to and advise a careful study of the analyses 
published of these remarkable mineral waters. 

These curative waters are secured from deep wells, 
though they are frequently referred to as springs. They 
range in depth from Soo to 1.300 feet, and the deeper the 
well, the stronger is the mineral water obtained ; but the 
increased strength is principally in sodium (common salt). 

The first well was drilled in 1865, by a company organ- 
ized for the purpose of prospecting for oil. It is said that 
oil and gas e.xperts consider that the local indications are 
excellent for both of these illuminating properties and 
predict that each will be found when sufficient depth has 
Ijeen reached. Gas in considerable quantities is found in 
all of the deep wells. 

Very fortunately, the medicinal virtues of this valuable 
mineral water were discovered while the manufacture of 
salt was in progress. 

Several well-known citizens took thermal salt baths 
in the salt vats and improvised bath tubs, and very remark- 
able cures were effected in cases of eczema, neuralgia and 
rheumatism. 

Dr. Abncr Hayward was the pioneer physician in rec- 
ognizing the virtues of the water as a healing agency 
with its great medicinal properties, and was the first 



to use the water in the treatment of his patients who had 
rheumatism and skin diseases. 

His first patient, Mrs. 

Tedman, of Romeo, was 
given the sulpho - salim- 
baths at his residence in a 
rubber bath tub and cured 
of rheumatism. This was 
the first instance of any 
person bathing under tin 
direction of a physician 
Dr. Hayw-ard still lives in 
Mount Clemens, at the cor 
ner of Cass and Xortli 
avenues, at the ripe age ni 
eighty-five years, and i-- 
highly respected by tin- 
community. Dr. Hayward 
is owner of the well-known 
Athenian Springs, which 
are located at his resi- 
dence. 

Mr. F. Harold Hayward. tlic w-ell-known artist, is a 
son of Dr. Hayward, and also resides at Mount Clemens. 

Little progress was made until a regular bath house 
was erected and hotel accommodations provided. These 
were completed in 1873, the Original Bath House and the 
Avery Hotel being the first to supply the demand for 
baths, board and lodging for invalid visitors : and this 
date is really the starting-point of Mount Clemens as 
a health resort. These were built by Dr. Henry Taylor, 
he being assisted by local capitalists who desired to give 
these waters a fair trial. The reputation, growth and pop- 
ularity of Mount Clemens have increased annually. 




Dr. Abuer Hayward 



The World-Famous Mineral Baths 

The mineral baths of Mount Clemens have been proved 
conclusively to be the strongest in use, from the fact that 
the mineral salts contained in one Mount Clemens bath 
(sixty-five gallons of water) weigh one hundred and 
twenty-five pounds, five and three-fourths ounces (125 
pounds, 5-?/4 ounces) as determined by John Meyers, chem- 
ist. Their efficiency in the treatment of all forms of rheu- 
matism is without a superior. 

The baths at Mount Clemens are administered with 
more care and attention than at any other bathing place 
we know of. Engagements are made at the office of the 
bath house for the exact time the invalid desires to bathe, 
or can make an appointment. First to come makes choice 
of time and attendants, and no attendant is allowed to treat 
more than one person at a time. The time allowed for 
each bath is one-half hour. Of course, occasionally a 
longer bath is given, but usually they average about that 
length of time ; frequently a few minutes less. 

Most of the time the invalid is in the bath tub he is 
being worked upon by the attendant, especially those 
afflicted with rheumatism, paralysis and kindred troubles. 
Fifteen minutes is the average time occupied in the bath 
tub. and after the bath, a thorough drying and rubbing is 
administered, after which sufficient time is spent in the 
cooling room to reduce the heat of the body to its normal 
condition as nearly as possible before the invalid is allowed 
to venture out of doors. All danger of taking cold is 



guarded against by this important precaution. No invalid 
should take a hot bath in these mineral waters without 
first consulting a resident physician. Medical and physical 
examination of the invalid before bathing, unless his con- 
dition is well known, is imperative. No two cases are ex- 
actly alike, and therefore the batfis and medical treatment 
should vary accordingly, under competent medical super- 
vision. These mineral waters are very potent for good 
if properly and intelligently applied, but dangerous when 
used recklessly. 

Diseases Treated 

Rheumatic affections, embracing Inflammatory and 
Chronic Rheumatism, Stifl^ened Joints, Sciatica, Lumbago 
and all forms of Muscular Rheumatism and Gout. 

Skin diseases, such as Eczema, Salt Rheum, Psoriasis, 
Erysipelas and Scrofula, in whatever form. 

Lead and Mercurial Poisoning, Biliousness and Liver 
Troubles, Paralysis, Epilepsy, and Paralysis following 
Cerebro-Spinal Meningitis, Neuralgia, Insomnia. Hysteria, 
Alcoholism, St. Vitus' Dance, etc. 

Female diseases, known as Leucorrhcea (whites), Dys- 
menorrhoea (painful menstruation), Amenorrhcea (sup- 
pressed menses). General Debility, Nervous Prostration, 
Protracted Convalescence following exhausting diseases. 

Catarrhal diffi'culties. Bleeding of the Kidneys. Catarrh 
of the Bladder, Diabetes. Dyspepsia. Constipation, Sick- 
Headache, etc.

All-the- Year-Round Resort 



How to Reach Mount Clemens 



Mount Clemens has long been looked upon as a sum- 
mer resort only, but of late years the improvements made 
in the best hotels and bathing houses by steam heating, 
etc., have made the houses so comfortable that baths are 
given in the coldest weather, and with proper and prudent 
precaution on the part of bathers, without the least danger 
of taking cold. The degree of heat is equalized all over 
these houses, and even in the passageways connecting tlie 
hotels with the Clementine, Olympia, Fountain and Are- 
thusa Bath Houses, the same degree of heat is maintained 
by steam radiators. Thus the baths are given in the most 
severe and disagreeable weather as well as in the most 
pleasant season of the year. 

It is claimed by many that cures are more readily 
obtained in winter than at any other season, because the 
invalids make a business of getting well, remain indoors, 
take better care of themselves and bathe regularly. In 
summer they fish, sail on the river and lake, and other- 
wise e.xpose themselves, and frequently take cold and thus 
retard improvement. Therefore, many cases of rheuma- 
tism are cured in winter in a short time that possibly 
would not be cured at all if the invalid did not do his 
part toward recovery. 

It is true that this place has only been considered a 
health resort, and as such has become justly noted, and 
it will always attract the largest number because its min- 
eral waters and the baths cure so many of the ills afflict- 
ing the human family, -\dded to the great variety of 
sports and amusements offered, is the fact that the oppor- 
tunities for pleasure are numerous in and about Mount 
Clemens, and the citizens cater to the fancies of all 
classes. This makes Mount Clemens a very desirable 
"Health and Pleasure Resort all the year round." 



As Mount Clemens is twenty-two miles from Detroit, 
Mich., and is reached by steam only by the Grand Trunk 
Railway, the reader can easily see, by consulting a rail- 
road map, how he can best reach it, via Detroit, from his 
own home. We can almost say that any railroad or steam- 
boat line that will lead you to Detroit will take you to 
]\Iount Clemens, though transfer at Detroit is necessary 
on all lines e.xcepting the Grand Trunk. But when you 
reach Detroit you are nearly there, and any of the five 
daily passenger trains will land you at Mount Clemens 
in forty or fifty minutes. 

The Rapid Railway and the Lake Shore from Detroit 
are two of the best electric roads in the United States, 
and make regular trips every half hour. Fare, 25 cents. 
Time, one hour to an hour and a half. 

Expenses, Etc. 

The expenses are lower at Mount Clemens than at any 
other noted health resort in the United States. The fol- 
lowing items of expense will enable anyone contemplating 
a visit to this place to appro.xmiate all his necessary out- 
lay: 

Monthly Expenses 

Board, per month $24.00 to $roo.oo 

Baths (15 to 30) 7.50 to 15.00 

Attendant (according to liberality of 

bather, regular fee 25c per bath) 3.75 to 15.00

Amuse- 
ments 

The visitor 
will find many 
kinds of 
amusements to 
entertain h i m 
during his 
stay. There is 
one good thea- 
ter where vau- 
deville and 
moving pic- 
tures are 
given, and sev-

age service is 

maintained here to supply the demand. There are many 
interesting trips to be made in a few miles of Mount Clem- 
ens, while Detroit, twenty miles away, offers many lines of 
amusements, including League baseball, racing, etc. 

Boating and Fishing 

The Clinton River, which circles through the city, 
affords splendid boating, and Lake St. Clair, which is 
reached in seven miles, is our fishing grounds. All kinds 




of pleasure and excursion boats make regular trips to the 
Club Houses near the mouth of the river and into the lake 
for fishing. Sometimes the fishing is very fine, and the 
writer has taken many trips to enjoy this sport. The 
steamer ride down the river, across the lake, through the 
Government Canal past the "Flats," frequently called the 
"Venus of America," to Walpool Indian reservation and 
return, is certainly very enjoyable, and one all visitors to 
Mount Clemens should take. 



The Riverview Golf Links 

Mount Clemens at last has a good nine-hole 
golf course, which has been so much needed at 
this resort, and can now offer visitors this popu- 
lar pastime that has become such a fad among pa- 
trons of health and pleasure resorts throughout 
the United States. 

The course is located on the Clinton River, 
three-quarters of a mile from the center of the 
city, and within easy walking distance of the 
hotels. It can be readied by the river road on 
the front or Crocker Boulevard and Lake Shore 
Electric Line on the rear. The "gallery" can fol-

Cfje Clementine TBatl) I^ouse 

HIS is one of the most elegant bath houses ni the 
United States, and is deservedly popular and 
successful. Its appointments are first-class and 
modem. It is kept scrupulously neat and clean 
and always up-to-date, and its business has in- 
creased annually, and during the last busy season its 
capacity was taxed to almost its full limit. 

This splendid property has been purchased by Air. John 
R. Murphy, of Allegheny, Pa., who for over eight years 
was chief of police and director of public safety of that, 
his native city. He has organized a stock company, Clem- 
entine Bath Co., of which he is president. 

The Clementine deserves its reputation, and its patrons 
are of the very best class of visitors and citizens. 

Every kind of bath given in this city is given at the 
Clementine, including tub, douche, spray and vapor. 

Connected with each bath room is a dressing and cool- 
ing room, provided with a lounge or couch, upon which 
a nap or rest inay be had after the bath. The mineral water 
supply is obtained from a well drilled especially for this 
bath house, and is situated on an adjacent lot, entirely 
separate, where are located the engines, boilers, pumps 
and water-tanks, and the only connection is by pipes, which 
convey the mineral water and the steam heat used. 

The building is not only handsome in its construction, 
but is commodious and conveniently arranged. 

The front part of the building is two stories high, with 
lofty ceilings. On the ground floor is a large office, with 
its handsome tile floor and beautiful finish of natural oak. 
On the left of the office are the ladies' parlor and cooling 



rooms. The former is carpeted and furnished equal to the 
average private parlor. On the right are tlie gentlemen's 
parlors, reading and cooling rooms ; neatly finished, in 
keeping with the office and rooms, entirely of oak. 

The Clementine Hotel and Capron House are connected 
with this bath house ; the former by -doorway and the lat- 
ter by hallway. The Sherman House and Eastman Hotel 
are also located opposite. 

The Clementine is also convenient to several smaller 
hotels and boarding houses and is extensively patronized 
by their boarders. They are the Arlington, the Antlers, 
the Woodbine, the Chase Cottage, the Tennessee, the Wal- 
nut and others. 

The attendants, both male and female, are those who 
have had long experience, and they are always kind and 
obliging to their invalid patrons. They prepare the bath, 
attend to the wants of the bathers, massage and manipulate 
the patients while in the bath, and rub and dry them after 
the bath ; for these services the attendant's fee is 25 cents. 
The tickets for mineral baths are 50 cents; vapor, 75 cents; 
foot-baths, 25 cents ; fresh-water bath, 25 cents. 

Mr. Coursin, the builder and former owner, was for- 
tunate in the selection of the location for the Clementine, 
and strangers in Mount Clemens cannot but appreciate the 
beautiful scene that greets the eye from the bath house. 
Cass .\venue, upon which the Clementine fronts, is a rest- 
ful picture in summer time. Hundreds of tall shade trees 
line the avenue and entwine their branches in magnificent 
arclies of Nature's green above the driveway. The Clemen- 
tine is on the line of the electric railway leading from the 
Grand Trunk Railway, is within one block of the City Hall 
and the business center of Mount Clemens and the Rapid 
and Lake Side Electric lines to Detroit and Port Huron.

Clementine Bath House 

Exclusive Furnished Rooms 

The second floor of the Clementine is divided into com- 
modious and handsomely furnished rooms. The sleep- 
ing rooms are rented to those whose illness requires them 
to be handy to their bath, and others who prefer them 
separate from a hotel. The demand for sleeping accom- 
modations has been so great that Mr. John R. Murphy, 
the owner and proprietor of the Clementine, is having 
plans drawn for two additional stories to the bath house, 
which will give accommodations for fifty more guests. 





One of the Bed Rooms 



Residence of John R. Murphy 

The rooms will have hot and cold running water and 
every modern convenience. This extensive remodeling 
will extend to the bathing department, and many improve- 
ments that will meet with the approval of the host of pa- 
trons of the Clementine Bath House will be made. The two 
additional stories will add greatly to the appearance of the 
exterior of this beautiful bath house, with its wide verandas 
and ideal location. The bath house and furnished rooms 
upstairs are all under the same management. A cafe in 
connection is contemplated. For further information call

Dear -Sir: After taking a course of baths at the Clementine 
Bath House for catarrh of the stomach and throat, I have been 
entirely cured of both. For six months before I wf-nt to ^tount 
Clemens I could get no relief from my doctors, and lived on bread 
and milk. I can now eat three meals a day.

Having suffered greatlv with inflammatory rheumatism from 
June 20 to Aug. 8. 1903, i came to Mount Clemens so crippled I 
was obliged to resort to wheel chairs to convey me to and from tlie 
bath house. I began taking baths at the Clementine, where I found 
everything new. neat and the attendants the best. After the first 
week I was entirely relieved of all rheumatic trouble. From my 
own experience. I have only the highest words of praise for the 
Clementine Bath House and the work it is doing.

Manager Clcmcntiitc Bath Co. 

Dear Sir: Please permit me to tell you in a few words what the 
baths have done for me. and what I have seen them do for others. 
When I came to Mount Clemens, about ten weeks ago, every joint 
from my toes to my head was sore and stiff, and I could hardly 
expect to be cured in so short a time, as my case had been stand- 
ing for over ten years. My toes on both feet had been stiff for 
five years, and during the ten years that I suffered I wasn't one 
minute, night or day, without jiain, and I Iiad taken so much medi- 
cine that my stomach was ruined; couldn't eat or sleep. I felt 
relief after the first bath, and continued to improve, every day 
gaining a little, till now I feel that I am cured; haven't got a pain 
nor ache; I eat well and sleep well and have gained seventy-one 
pounds. 

I have seen men come here on cots, and to my great surprise saw 
them w-alking without even the aid of a cane in less than two weeks. 
I have seen in the closets of the different hotels hundreds of crutches 
and canes that have been left behind by those who were cured. I 
can't express my feelings sufficiently to lliank you and vour attend- 
ants for the many kindnesses I received at your hands, but wi^h 
you Godspeed, and anyone I see suffering from that dreadful pain, 
I will try to induce to come to Mount Clemens at once.

The Baths of Arethusa 

One of tlic first questions most of our 
visiters ask about the name "Arethusa" is, 
"What does the name signify? From what 
is it derived V 

To answer this question to the satisfac- 
tion of our readers and ourselves, we have 
consulted four works upon classic myths 
and mytliology. at our Public Library. We 
found enougli to write a fascinating story 
of tlie "Beautiful Arethusa." But our space 
is limited, and it will be necessary for us 
to relate briefly the myths without giving 
any quotations : 

Arethusa (from the Greek) was the 
fourth daughter of Atlas and Hesperus. 
There were seven girls of the Hesperides. 
the name given this family. 

Arethusa was very beautiful and was 
fond of outdoor life, the woods and the 
chase. Once, on returning from the sport, 
tired and lieated, she came to a sparkling 
stream, so unusually clear and pure and 
retired tliat it offered a splendid oppor- 
tunity for a perfect bath. She timidly 
entered the water to her knees, and was so 
delighted that she threw aside her gar- 
ments and sought the cooling and refresh- 
ing waters.

While taking this bath she was attracted by 
an unusual murmur, and hastened to the bank 
of the stream, where she found she was pur- 
sued by Alpheus, the god of the stream, who 
besought her to remain. She fled and he fol- 
lowed ; he was deeply in love with the beautiful 
Arethusa, but she spurned his affection, and in 
great fear she called upon Diana for protection. 
Diana, hearing her appeal, wrapped Iier in a 




thick vapor, which thwarted the god of the 
stream, who still persisted and would not give 
up tlie search. However, before he could dis- 
cover her, she was changed into a fountain of 
pure water, and at the will of her protector the 
earth parted and Arethusa, the beautiful girl, 
transformed into a pure, sparkling fountain 
stream, fled into the bowels of the earth.

This accounts for our deep wells. The myths 
say the stream came to the surface in Sicily, 
and we say, with equally good reasons, at 
Mount Clemens. Thus ends the myth story. 

Our waters are not pure. They are the most 
highly mineralized waters in use ; and while 
some, on account of this extreme depth, contain 
a little more sodium (common salt) than others.

The Fountain Bath House 

This large establisliment has recently made very im- 
portant improvements, including solid porcelain tubs, tile 
and mosaic floors, marble wainscoting and partitions, mak- 
ing tlie interior look like an entirely new house. It is the 
second largest in the city, and one of the largest in the 
United States, having fifty bath rooms, four cooling rooms, 
ladies' and gentlemen's parlors, physicians' offices and a 
rotunda or general reception room over twenty feet wide, 
fifty-six feet long, and with a ceiling twenty-four feet high. 
In the construction of the Fountain, especial attention was 
given to ventilation, a very important item in a bath house. 
The Fountain Bath House also contains seventy private 
cooling rooms, which assures perfect privacy to bathers. 
Elxtra large rooms and bath tubs are provided for those so 
badly crippled and deformed that it would be difficult or 
impossible to bathe in an ordinary tub or be conveniently 
handled in a small bath room. All the various kinds of 
baths administered at this resort can be had at the Foun- 
tain. A gymnasium is provided for all patrons. An exten- 
sive steam laundry is also provided for the thorough wash- 
ing of bath robes, etc. The mineral water supplying this 
bath house is obtained from one of the deepest wells in the 
city, and is situated just back of the bath house and under 
the tall tower, but this building is entirely separate. 

The price of baths is the same as at all the houses. 
being 50 cents for mineral water. 25 cents for mineral foot- 
bath, and .75 cents for mineral vapor. Fresh-water bath, 
25 cents. Attendant's fee. 25 cents extra. The Fountain 



Bath House is connected with tlie Clifton House, on same 
block, by an enclosed passageway, and also with the Foun- 
tain Hotel and the Crystal. The passageways are heated 
by steam, well lighted, and the return to the hotel after 
the bath can be made without exposure or danger of taking 
cold.

The Med-^a Hotel and Bath House 



The Medea Hotel and Bath House 

The new Medea Hotel is designed to meet the demands 
of a large and exclusive class of visitors who desire a 
thoroughly modern and roomy house with an attractive, 
central location. 

Opening off the lobby are the bathing departments, 
ladies' parlor, dining room, ordinary, reading and writing 
rooms, buffet, barber shop, a public and private office, 
elevator and stairways. 

All the hotel and bathrooms and passageways are so 
heated, lighted and ventilated and interconnected as to 
form a miniature health and pleasure resort at any and 
all seasons of the year. 

The Medea Hotel is located in the center of the city, 
opposite the Court House and principal business houses. 
The interurban waiting-room is opposite our main en- 
trance, and all cars stop in front of our door. The New 
Medea Hotel is modern, newly renovated and decorated. 
The bath house is located right in the hotel and you can 
go from your room to the bath house in your bath robe, 
if desired. The hotel is on the European plan, with rooms 
$1 per day and upward. The cuisine is excellent. Club 
breakfasts are 35 cents and up. A 50-ct. -business-men's 
lunch is served from 12.00 to 2.00, and there is a la carte 
service all day at moderate prices. Surrounding the hotel 
are a number of smaller hotels and high-class boarding 
houses where rates may be secured from $7 per week and 
up, and you can still receive tlie benefit of taking your baths 
at the Medea Bath House, zi'lwse zvaters haz'e made Mount 
Clemens famous, and where bathers will receive the same 
thorough attention as if stopping in the hotel proper. 

The Medea building is in every respect modern ; is con- 
structed of brick, stone and steel, and is practically fire- 
proof. It is located at the intersection of the two prin- 
cipal avenues of the city, and overlooking Court House 



Square on the one side and the Clinton River on the other. 

Every one of the 150 guest rooms commands a pleas- 
ant outside view, besides possessing every utility that care- 
ful foresight could provide. The rooms are extremely 
large and commodious, every one in the house having 
steam heat, hot and cold running water, a white-enameled 
stationary wash-stand, clothes closets, electric lights, and 
a long-distance telephone, giving free service to guests 
throughout the hotel and bath house. Many of the rooms 
are en suite with private bath and toilet, some with pri- 
vate toilet, while on each floor are two general lavatories, 
all equipped with a view to securing the very highest de- 
gree of beauty, comfort and sanitation. Guests may rest 
assured that the Medea will provide all the comforts and 
luxuries that a modern love of ease can suggest and the 
market can afford. Many of the attendants have been 
here for years and are familiar with the needs of health- 
seeking patrons. They are trained to give especial care 
and attention to all who do not care to bring along their 
own attendants. 

At the Medea the baths may be taken as safely, com- 
fortably and effectively in the coldest of winter weather 
as in the heat of summer. 

The Medea Bath House 

The justly celebrated Medea is the pioneer of Michigan 
mineral waters, being first in point of discovery, as well 
as first in number of successful treatments and in value 
of medicinal properties. It is strong in the confidence of 
the people, having been tested by time and approved by 
thousands of cures. 

The Medea Water 

Is strongly impregnated with salt and sulphur, standing 
first among the noted saline-sulphur springs of the world. 



29 




The Medea Dining Room 



In calcic and magnesic chlorides it is remarkably rich, 
possessing over four hundred per cent more of these 
health-giving properties tlian any other waters. The 
presence of these acknowledged remedial agents to such 
an unusual extent renders the Medea baths exceptionally 
valuable in the treatment of rheumatism and skin diseases. 
A comparative view of the scientific analysis of the nu- 
merous health waters of this country and Europe shows 
the iMedea to contain a much larger proportion of the 
chlorides, with the single exception of sodic (common 
salt), and about twenty-five per cent more iron and bro- 
mine than any coexisting water. .And the very absence 



of this excess of salt in the combination is accepted by 
those best acquainted with the water as one of its many 
elements of superiority. 

The bath departments are fitted throughout with solid 
porcelain tubs of large size. The bath rooms are par- 
titioned with white Italian marble and floored with vitre- 
ous tiling, consequently affording the highest degree of 
beauty, and at the same time giving the greatest sanita- 
tion obtainable. 

For the accommodation of invalid guests, a corps of 
trained nurses is maintained, and their services can al- 
ways be secured promptly and at reasonable rates.

Olympia Bath House 

The Door to Health 

Tile Olympia Bath House is the handsomest bathing 
estabhshmcnt in Mount Clemens, which advantage has en- 
abled its enterprising owners to adopt the latest and best 
of everything. 

The exterior of the Olympia is enameled white brick, 
and its colonial style of architecture gives it a very hand- 
some and commanding appearance. 

The lower floor is entirely devoted to bathing, office 
and reception rooms. The women's department is under 
the supervision of a competent masseuse, and consists of 
reception, cooling and dressing rooms, bath halls and 
resting rooms. The men's department, of double the ca- 
pacity, is located entirely separate from that of the women, 
and is the same in every detail. In both of these depart- 
ments will be found individual lockers and the largest- 
sized, solid porcelain bath tubs. 

Every kind of bath obtainable in Mount Clemens is 
given at the Olympia, at the same rates as charged at other 
bath houses. 

There are many good boarding places for patients close 
to the Olympia Bath House, at rates from $7 to $10 a 
week. 

Mineral Baths, 50 cents; Mineral Vapor Baths, 75 cents;

The Park Hotel and Bath House 

The New Park Hotel and Bath House are open all the 
year and represent the finest additions to the great bathing 
interests of Mount Clemens. The hotel is one of the larg- 
est in the city, and has a national reputation. It is lo- 
cated upon an attractive and slightly elevated site in the 
prettiest portion of the town. The proprietors have re- 
cently bought the grounds formerly occupied by the Avery 
Hotel, which was destroyed by fire last year, and are con- 
verting them into a beautiful park, with fountains, flowers 
and shrubbery. They have also built a boat house and 
landing on the Clinton River, which runs by this park. 
The latter is located just across the street from the hotel, 
and is for the use of its patrons. The proprietors, Messrs. 
Kieffer and McArthur, are thoroughgoing, and their popu- 
larity has increased with their residence here. The hotel 
is furnished most sumptuously. Its splendid lobby and 
corridors and wide verandas afford delightful promenades, 
and many of the rooms being en suite, with private bath 
rooms, guests can have every comfort, convenience and 
luxury. The Park cuisine is famous. 

The Park Bath House 

Owned and operated by Messrs. Wm. Burgard and George 
Kieffer, under the firm name of Burgard & Kieffer, is un- 
der the same roof as the hotel, doing away alike with ex- 
posure to outside air and long and tedious passageways. 
It is the finest bathing institution in the country. It has 



marble floors, partitions, wainscoting, and private cooling 
rooms, and every latest improvement. 

The Park Mineral Water 

We claim for the Park mineral water superior efficacy, 
and we do this without seeking to detract from the 
acknowledged merits of other waters. We submit com- 
parative analyses of three of the most famous wells known, 
that of the Park being made by Prof. Samuel Duffield, 
of Detroit, celebrated analytical chemist.

The Colonial Hotel and Bath House 
40 



The Colonial Hotel and Bath House 

The Colonial is constructed and equipped on a scale of 
magnificence and completeness favored by the most de- 
sirable patronage. It is situated on the highest elevation 
in the city — thus affording a comprehensive view of the 
hiaiUiful country round about. 

The hotel is constructed of brick, stone, tile, cement, 
etc. It is, therefore, fire-proof. Further, it is adapted for 
business at all seasons of the year. 

The founders of the Colonial Hotel and Baths during 
1896 saw an opening suggestive of a spirit of progressive- 
ness. which later was appreciated when Mount Clemens' 
jjreatness was made known by the many marvelous cures 
wliich attracted the whole world. 

The hotel and bath house were built in a great field, 
which then assumed a much out-of-the-way appearance, 
but the far-sightedness of the projectors looked into 
the future. Soon thereafter beautiful trees, shrubs, plants, 
etc., assumed magnificent proportions, fronting on one of 
the handsomest avenues in the State, and on the main 
electric line to and from Detroit. 

The progressive spirit did not stop with the comple- 
tion of the hotel. At the time of building the bath house, 
whicli connects with hotel, wooden tubs were wholly in 
evidence. .Agents were sent out to find a tub which would 
present more sanitary conditions, and solid porcelain tubs 
made in England were added to the equipment, proving 
a nucleus for others to follow in the line of progressive- 
ness. 



Among the pastimes most favored are boating, fishing, 
walks in the woods, wheeling, automobiling, tennis, court- 
golf, croquet, etc. 

Tliere are many good boarding houses close by the 
bath house for those who prefer less pretentious accom- 
modations than the Colonial offers. 
Bath House 

The entrance to the bath house is from the hotel lobby 
and but ten feet from the elevator. 

The Colonial Bath is fitted in the most modern and sub- 
stantial manner. The walls are of marble, the tubs of solid 
porcelain and the floors are of tile, which construction in- 
sures an absolute sanitary condition. 

The bath house is under medical supervision, which 
assures patrons more careful detail and care.

logue will be clieerfully mailed on request.

The ]Vappner 

This family hotel was erected and opened to the public in 
1908, and is therefore one of our newest hotels. 

It was well built and contains all th^ latest improvements, 
including hot and cold running water in each room, and bath 
rooms for both ladies and gentlemen on all floors. The sleep- 
ing rooms are of good size and very nicely furnished; the 
front and corner rooms are especially fine. The illustrations 
on the next page give a good idea of the style of the interior 
arrangement of the house. The center cut of the group shows 
the office and hall leading to the dining room, and the stair- 
way leading to the upper floors. The reading and writing 
room is to the left of the office and the ladies' parlor on the 
right. 

The building of the Baths of Arethusa next door, with a 
similar front, has given this popular family hotel a great ad- 
vantage, equal that of the large hotels having bath houses 
under the same roof; and a convenience fully appreciated by 
all guests. The connection to the bath house is from the 
second story, covered and protected; in fact, just like passing 
from one room or a hall to another. 

The rates range from $14 to $20 per week, according to 
the location of rooms. Special rates for winter.

The Glenwood 

The Glcinvood lias always enjoyed the 
distinction of being one of the most ex- 
clusive family hotels in Mount Clemens. 
It is homelike and caters to the best 
people, and under Mr. Roy's able man- 
agement has always enjoyed a most lib- 
eral patronage. 

It is a three-story brick building, 
lighted by electricity and heated by steam 
Each room has stationary wash-stands, 
with hot and cold running water. There 
are forty rooms, all with outside ex- 
posure. The floors are deadened an^l 
made entirely of hard wood, and cov- 
ered with large, movable rugs. The 
rooms are arranged single or en suite. 

The Glenwood is located next door to the Olympia 
Bath House and is connected w-ith it by a steam-heated 
passageway, so that guests of this house are not exposed 
to the outside air when taking their bath. This is a great 
convenience, as it lessens the liability to taking cold. You 
merely put on your bath robe in your room and go in direct 
to your bath and return to cool off in your own room in- 
stead of the bath house. This is a great advantage in the 
winter months 




The Front Porch of the Glenwood 

The location of the Glenwood is a most ideal one, being 
on the corner of Cass and North avenues, just two short 
blocks from the heart of tlie city. The street cars pass 
the door for the depot and for interurban cars to Detroit 
and Port Huron. Cass Avenue is one of Mount Clemens' 
most beautiful streets. One will not find any more attract- 
ive place to stop in the city. Rates from $2 to $3 per day.

The Clementine Bath House — The Clementine Hotel 



46 



The Clementine Hotel 

This three-story brick hotel was completed and opened 
for business early in the spring of 1908. It is immediately 
adjoining the well-known bath house of the same name, 
and connected by door with the bathing department, a 
convenience enjoyed by very few of the smaller hotels. 
The hotel is located on North Walnut St., one-half block 
from Cass Avenue, and only one block from post-office 
and Court Square. The street cars pass in half block 
for depot and Rapid Railway for Detroit and Port Huron. 





The Clementine Office 



The Clementine Dining Boom 

Mr. Furton is also the owner of Tlie Antlers, formerly 
the King House, beautifully located on Cass Avenue. The 
Clementine, being connected with the bath house of that 
name, and being steam-heated, makes a very desirable place 
to stop in the winter months, as it lessens the chance of 
catching cold while taking the baths. All of the modern 
conveniences are included in its construction. It is nicely 
furnished, and visitors requiring the baths will be pleased 
with the Clementine Hotel. The rates are $9 to $15 per 
week, and the house is to be open all the year.

The Monroe Hotel and Plaza Bath House 

The location of this hotel and bath liousc is very desir- 
able, being on the corner opposite the Park Hotel, the 
Hotel Square and Park Hotel Park (on ground formerly 
occupied by the old Avery Hotel). The property has re- 
cently changed hands, Mr. Fred W. Miller having pur- 
chased it, and is now sole owner of hotel and bath house. 
He has made several changes and improvements since tak- 
ing charge, and there are none of the smaller hotels in 
Mount Clemens that offer better accommodations than the 





.\l..iir..L\ It li.is ~uaiii lie. it, tl«-clric lislits, gas and call

The electric cars pass the door for all depots and De- 
troit, and the Clinton River is just one block of?, where 
the steamer and launches make daily trips down the river 
to the club houses and on fishing excursions. 

The Plaza Bath House, which is connected with the 
hotel, gives every kind of bath, and offers every con- 
venience to its patrons. 

The Hotel rates are from $7 to $12 per week.

The Melrose 

This new house seems to fill the position of what may 
be termed a "happy medium" between a small hotel and a 
large boarding house, and yet it is both, and at the same 
time neither. It is home, not only to Mrs. Catherine L. 
Blayney, owner, and her family, but to all of their guests 



as long as they remain beneath the roof of the Melrose. 
The house is thoroughly modern and steam heated. Every- 
thing about the house is homelike. It is situated at 25 
South Avenue, a short distance from Cass Avenue, on 
which are the Clementine and Olympia Bath Houses, one 
block distant. Rates, $8 to $14 per week, according to 
room selected.

The Washington Sanitarium 

The Washington Sanitarinm, formerly known as the 
Martha Washington, is now devoting its energy to the 
care of the sick only. A corps of well-trained nurses is 
kept on duty night and day. .\ny physician of good stand- 
ing is at liberty to care for his patients at this institution. 
Everything is so neat and clean that it is a pleasure to 
be a patient (we have been one). It is quiet and retired, 
behind the beautiful trees which shade Cass Avenue, one 
of the city's main residence streets. Two bath houses 
are located in the next block and it is only two blocks from 
the Court House and center of the city. Street cars pass 
the door from the Grand Trunk Railway depot, and the 
electric line to Detroit and Port Huron is only two blocks 
away. The Washington Sanitarium is equipped with all 
modern conveniences, including hot and cold water in 
every room. Dr. Joseph M. Croman, the proprietor, and 
his family, reside in the house. 

Rates, including nursing and board, are from $15 to 
$24.50 per week. This does not include medicine and 
physician's fee.

Rheumatism and Nervous Diseases a Specialty 

IN connection with Osteopathic treatment the use of the Mineral Baths of Mount 
Clemens is a most valuable adjunct. The water is a tonic in itself, composed, as it is, 
of strong mineral salts, and being reconstructive in its action and upbuilding in its effect, 
the united use of these two agencies brings about most happy results. We advise their 
use in all cases where there is no contraindicated condition present.

Mount Clemens Bitter Water 

The Popular Mount Clemens Laxative 

Here is Nature's great 
laxative and tonic, the best 
of all medicinal waters. It 
is prepared from the gen- 
uine Mount Clemens Min- 
eral Water. -It is pleasing 
to the taste and marvelously 
beneficial in its remedial 
action, cleansing, strength- 
ening, invigorating. 

It is equal to any other 
water in the world claim- 
ing similar merit. It is es- 
pecially beneficial in Con- 
stipation, Dyspepsia, Sick 
Headache. Kidney and 
Liver Troubles. Hives. Diz- 
ziness, Stomach and Bowel 
Troubles, Palpitation of the 
Heart, .Acidity of the Stom- 
ach, Heart-Burn. 

The following analysis 
is most forceful, scientific 
evidence of the remarkable 
medicinal quality of Mount 
Clemens Bitter Water: 



Chicago. Oct. 29, 1886. 
Gentlemen: This is to certify that I have made a careful analy- 
sis of the sample of Bitter Water you submitted to me, with the 
following results: 



Grains per Imperial Gallon 

Chloride of Calcium 829629 

Carbonate of Calcium.. 15880 
Iron (Ses qui Oxide).. 1890 

."Silica 1764 

Organic Matter trace 

Total Residue 1453805 



Grains per Imperial Gallon 
Sulphate of Calcium... 11162 
Chloride of Sodium.... 26.^020 
Chloride of Potassium.. 43120 
Iodide of M.ignesium. . . 4337 
Bromide of Magnesium. 9450 
Chloride of Magnesium. 271553 

I congratulate you upon the large amount of Bromine, and es- 
pecially Iodine contained in the Bitter Water, as shown in the above 
analysis, the quantity of the two constituents, which add so 
greatly to the curative value of Mineral Waters, being much 
greater than in any water I have ever before analyzed. 

Very respectfully yours, G. Gilbert Wheeler, 

Analytical Chemist. 

Mount Clemens Bitter Water is not a physic nor a 
liarsh cathartic. It is Nature's tonic laxative. It refreshes 
and stimulates the natural functionings of the stomach, 
bowels, liver, kidneys and bladder, cleansing and strength- 
ening. 

It is a reliable remedy for Chronic Constipation. A 
.glass every morning before breakfast will accomplish won- 
ders in a few weeks. It restores natural conditions. 

For alcoholic excess, a full glass of Bitter Water be- 
fore breakfast proves a splendid and prompt restorer to 
normal nerve conditions.

Victory Spring 

Mr. Chas. Shorkey. pro- 
prietor of the celebrated 
Victory Spring, was one of 
the first to discover the 
flowing springs, and during 
the past twelve years, 
through his personal ef- 
forts and the efficacy of the 
Victory Spring water, the 
increase in business has 
been quite remarkable. 
Thousands visit this beau- 
tiful park and 'grand pa- 
vilion annually, to drink 
this water. The purity and 
medicinal qualities of the 
Victor}- Spring water can 
be attested by hundreds of 
testimonials from eminent 
physicians and patrons of 
the Spring, who have either 
been cured or greatly bene- 
fited. It is especially rec- 
ommended for all stomach, 
liver and kidney troubles. 
The Victory Spring is lo- 
cated at 23 Third St. (east 
side), and only a short walk 
from the hotels. Mr. Shor- 
key, the proprietor, can al- 
ways be found at the Spring, where his uiUiring efforts to 
make his many patrons feel at home by his pleasing man- 
ner and Irish wit have made him very popular with Mount 
Clemens visitors. The Victory Spring enjoys a large ship- 
ping trade, many of his customers having the water sent 
home after leaving Mount Clemens. Shipments of the 




water are made to all parts of the U. S. and Canada.
